Twist caps absolutely do not belong anywhere besides homes, vibration from car will loosen up twist caps and not only that, but moister will get in and corrode the wires. And tape will never hold, it always opens up. Buy yourself shrink tubing and do every single wire with it. Like I said from the start, just hearing a person speak how they don't know how to read a multi-meter properly tells me they know hardly anything about electrical. There will be so many mistakes made.

By capped I meant that the tips of any wires that were cut had heat shrink applied and crimped. No housing caps man.
I will be going back and soldering and heatshrinking the wires.
The car cranks, it was the ignition fuse. It blew when I tried to crank and had a wire disconnected. I briefly checked it when I reconnected the wire but didnt see that it was blown.
I want to thank you guys for the help and teaching me how to use a multi
